[QUOTE="ICANHITHIMMAN, post: 402296, member: 10414"] The US ARMY say's 800 meters for the [EMAIL="M@24"]M24[/EMAIL] sniper system not for the 308win. The issued scope is the deciding factor in the system it lacks the elevation to take the round much past 1000 in most cases. Alot of advancements have been made however. The ARMY record for a distance kill with the 308 win in IRAQ stands at 1250. US MILITARY machine gun ranges typicaly go to 1200 yards. I have seen the 308 win shot to 1400 yards on steel but I know it will go well well past that. Its interesting the ARMY rates the M21 at 1000 yards and its barrel is 2" shorter than the M24. With all that info in my head I would not push the 308 win on dear sized game much past 800 with out my own testing first. [/QUOTE]
